28mm French Napoleonics Done!

Well after a long and hard flog my French Napoleonic army has finally been sold. I believe some of these troops must of been the first figures I painted when I took up wargaming.

I have to say that it will not be with regret that I package up the last 5 battalions today. My new 18mm AB army is fantastic and I will look forward to getting it on the table. The initial French force is all done and I should get some photos up soon. I just have to finish off the commanders basing.

Some of the 28mm French do remain however and will see action playing the much anticipated Sharpe Practice 2. This is a skirmish set for the Horse and Musket period and I am looking forward to one game that I can use for both my Napoleonics and for my French Indian War forces.

Although I plan to hold on to my Anglo-Portuguese Army as well as Brunswick Corps in 28 mm, my 1 unit of Nassau are now up for sale.

Congratulations! Although I have remained steadfast in my scale from the beginning, and have to plans to change that, ever, I do dread the day when accumulating more painted lead transitions to unloading some what I have. Perhaps they can accompany me on the longship, into the crypt, or what have you? :-)
